With the start and end cities in Season One being Melbourne and Perth, you would expect places like Brisbane or Sydney to be used next time.

However, I think it will be highly likely that the race will once again travel a full circle up to Europe and back again, without crossing either the Atlantic or Pacific. With that in mind, I would be surprised if they began and ended on the East Coast as flights up to Asia and elsewhere would be more expensive than the East.

Seeing as Perth is the only decent sized settlement on the East Coast, I am almost certain that it will be used as one of either the start or finish line. And I also doubt that TARAus would use the same city in the final episode twice, so my money's on Perth being the starting city.

Dom El,

My Australia maps have Perth located on the west coast of Australia for a long time. Has it moved?

Fixed! I'm not a stupid person but I always have to take a few seconds to remember which way is East and which is West. Perhaps I got dropped on a very specific part of my head as a child..

Something equivalent to that happened to me too. I fell out of a hammock at age 5 and had a concussion.

The timeline for the first season is as follows:Applications open: 5th August 2010.Applications close: 17th September 2010.Race began: 5th November 2010.

The timeline for the second season so far is as follows:Applications open: 19th July 2011.Applications closed: 19th August 2011. (I think)

The only thing we have to go on here is the gap between applications closing and the race beginning last year. With that in mind, we would expect the race to be starting around now if the gap is kept the same. I can't imagine why the gap would be much larger than the first season, so my best guess is: any day now! Keep your eyes peeled!

you see this is why someone should go down to active tv and go a stake out because around this time last year i think they were choosing the final 11 so they(production) may bring the finalest team to active tv to tell them to get ready for a race around the world.

We will welcome all cast info later on, but please remember that you put a team at risk of elimination if they are identified BEFORE the start...so no cast names or photos until AFTER the race is underway, okay?

Thanks, looking forward to more later!

Thanks and yep sure no more info on them but they may be 2 males who just both happen to look emo/punk/goth. Also I am pretty sure this season we will see an Aboriginal/Indigenous Australian team.

FYI. Not sure if it was anything but I saw 3 women in Darling Harbour Sydney yesterday afternoon with black t-shirts on with big red Amazing Race Australia Logos on the back (same as my avatar). It had Sydney 2011 underneath and a "Proudly Supported by Tourism New South Wales" logo.

One woman had a clipboard. They were in no rush to get anywhere. It was close to the Entertainment Centre.

Possibly a local race

That clipboard suggests that it may have been a trial run for a leg (probably the first or last one) of ARAus 2.
